Hi...

which one is better Opera or Firefox ...???

Not another browser war thread...

firefox

* Eljay starts a browser war

definetly firefox

Firefox.
* John Anderton doesnt want another browser war
* John Anderton runs

What exactly is the point of these threads? Everyone likes different browsers for different reasons. It's your own preference.

Hussain36: If you want to know which is 'best' so badly, then try both and decide for yourself

i agree, everyone has different tastes. I find that opera loads faster and there are little things that make it a lot better to use.

People like firefox because they prefer the plugins and other features.

I use Firefox, but then I've used Mozilla Foundation products since starting to use Linux alongside Windows.

* RaceProUK recommends you give both a try, and remove the one you don't like

opera, is better cause you can zoom into pages and i just dont like firefox so i would say opera

opera is probably better, but i don't like its lay out to much. so i use FF

none of them is better, use Avant, since its not Netscape Based Like Opra or FF Avant can do almost anything like firefox and have the compatibility of IE

Of course Firefox!!!

Because fox has a download manager,pop-up manager,spyware warnings and lots of goodies...

But i have to thanks IE:If ie hadn't got some scattering errors i will never meet with Firefox

* WDZ wonders if everyone who gave an answer has actually tried both...

I use Opera, but I haven't tried FireFox. If you're just switching from IE, you should probably go with FireFox, simply because it's free, and that's what everyone else seems to be switching to.

I have tried both, and WDZ do you have a paid copy, or an ad supported copy (i have a paid copy)

I have a paid copy. I think it's worth it considering how much I use it.

Jeez, just test both. Just cuz some people like Firefox better than Opera dosent mean that its what you like better.

I was always partial to firefox myself.

Both are good. If you browse the web non-stop, like WDZ, you should use Opera. If you open a window, close a window, open a new window etc, you should use Firefox.

I'm also tired of Opera vs Firefox. We should do lynx vs links

Lynx is the best!

I used Avant recently until I decided I was tired of it and wanted a change.  I tried both Opera and Firefox.

Of course, in the end it's all down to personal preferences, but I quickly started to prefer Firefox of the two.  It's very easy to use and a couple of extensions and themes made it better in my opinion then I think Avant was previously.

Firefox is the best i have tried opera before but it had way too much incompatibilities with some sites

Opera PWNS... but if you're just looking for an alternate to IE... FireFox is the way to go

i use everything for different reasons.

for gaming and stuff that i want to do in a hurry, i use the free version of opera because of the wand feature, and i have the bookmarks i like and use a lot on the side bars. 

if i want to just browse the internet at any given time, i use firefox

if i want to download things i use IE cuz i use Download Accellerator Plus (DAP) which really helps with dialup

* Purity thinks Maxthon is better than Opera and Firefox put together....

Purity has the right idea in my book.

Ive been through the odd browser or two and find Maxthon to be the best bits of both opera and firefox and more

Wow, never found anyone else that uses Maxthon....
Yay!

there isn't ...

i asked ... i want to know which one is the best... faster...safer...etc...

now i'm using Opera and my brother use FireFox ...

Opera is good and FireFox is good also...

but as i said which one is faser, safer... etc...???

Opera is based on having the opera window always open. Firefox is more based on "hey, I want to view a website. Let's open firefox. So it depends on your needs

Yeah, Lynx is far better than Links, but Links is all I have on Windows. I can use Lynx via SSH though

What I really like about Opera is that when you open it again, all the tabs from your last use are still there Does anyone know a firefox plugin to do the same? (or an option somewhere?)

Session Saver is an extension for Firefox which does exactly that. I guess Session Saver is smaller/cleaner then Tabbrowser. It just depends on what you like, if you don't use Tabbrowser's other features then all you need is Session Saver .

That's got to be the best thing about Firefox: it's just a plain, simple, no-nonsense browser you can extend and enhance to your browsing habits.

Oh, and there's a version that can run off a pen drive...

I use Opera.... I love it

* Pr0xY wips out the HTML script........ I'm ready for battle bitches....

Each person has to decide for himself what the best browser is. There's been a test done with all the important, well known browsers and in the overall it seemed that Opera was faster. What I like about Opera is the tabbed browsing, the option to save what websites you were viewing, you have a lot of preferences,... . A downside is that it doesn't properly work with Gmail (altough it has improved with Opera 8). I used to use Firefox, until I got problems with viewing flash and audio/video. Using Opera for about a month or so now and I'm satisfied with it .

ive been using opera for about three years now, and i decided to try firefox for a week to see what it was like, however i am too used to opera. Its the little things that make a big difference, i liked the fact that the mail opened up in a new tab, not a new window, i liked the fact that you could double click in an empty space on the tab bar and it would open a new tab, i liked the fact that tabs shrunk if they had a small title.

There were loads of other little things that i couldnt do in firefox which annoyed me.

OPERA porves itself the FASTEST BROWSER ON EARTH...
